age gap

[holstenlips]

Is 15 years too big an age gap (for dating) when the woman is the older one (me!) I have met someone who wants to date..but he is only 7 years older than one of my kids!!

Not in my opinion. I have a bigger gap

I think just be open and honest about what you can offer (ie if he plans on children in the future and you are a definite no no for any more kiddies), what you expect and have fun.

im just still in shock that he wants to meet up..we met on a night out so he may well see me in the daylight and think ''errr no!'' Scared!

Id not say it's too big, unless of course he wants children and you can no longer have any. I think that if he is over 30 no problem.

lol funny thing to think.

My thoughts were more about the bed/nighttime the first couple of times, how my saggy, fat, c-sectioned, wrinkly, grey haired 40 year old body could compare to the girls a couple of years ago at uni!

He seems happy enough to still be around 2 -3 years later though.

I just enjoy what we have right now and if it ends it ends and we have had fun

If your child is 13 then it might be a bit much for them to handle. If your child is over 16 or so and you have a fairly mature relationship with them, then get in there and enjoy

He's under 30! When we met i thought he was younger than he is..so i warned him off (a bit) but then got a bit carried away and snogged him! I dont think we are thinking long term here just some fun and dating etc. He got my number and now wants to meet up soon - maybe he just wants some sex but it doesnt seem that way particularly as he has been asking me all about me etc. Its hard to resist if im honest..he's gorgeous!

Not if both are relatively mature (all relative but anything where younger is from mid late twenties and has some self awareness and maturity) . My dh much older and my dad never been happier with woman who is only 2 years older than me.

My oldest is 18, he is 25. Now that just looks a bit wrong to me!

and i have mummy tummy from 4 year old dd! He has the body of a greek god!

my partner is 25 I am 43 - going ok so far!

My partner is 29, I'm 39..been together 4 years and one dd together plus he's a great step dad to my older two..and he think I'm a goddess
Before I met my gorgeous dp I dated a 21 year old so 14 year age gap there..i've never worried about age tbh I think it's more about having a connection and seriously if he's into you then go for it!

I'm 32 and dp is 23. We don't think about the age gap. We just get on so well :)

Who cares! Seriously, by who's standards would it be "wrong"?

My last girlfriend was 15 years younger than me too (she was 26 and I was 42 when we were going out). Age never seemed an issue: we had a lot of common interests. Yes, there was the one awkward moment when we worked out that she was closer in age to my son than she was to me (he was 14 at the time)!!

We worked out that DP and me is the same age difference as my ds1 and dp but he is great with my kids and we have our own little bean on it's way

We don't even think about the age gap and to look at us you'd never guess there was one tbh lol..aww congrats sparkly :)

If it's just fun for "both" of you then absolutely fine.

15 years doesn't seem a lot if one is 40 and the other is 25, but when one becomes 70 and the other 55, that's a whole different matter.

I have a friend who is married to someone 13 years younger than her. I am also married to someone 19 years older than me. Age isn't important, it's how you get on. I don't think it's seen as that big a deal nowadays anyway.

thank you all for your comments :) I think i am going to go with it, as we have agreed on some 'fun' he seems keen so why not? lucky me :)
